I watched both the Trump conference and O'Donnell's take live and, yeah, he has a point.

The feed I had, you couldn't hear the reporters questions at all. So all you could hear was Trump and there was no way to know what the actual question was based on his answers.

But nobody follows up on ANY politician and it's been that way for a couple of decades now.

The classic example I always cite is one that happens all the time:

"Well, we're going to get rid of job-killing regulations."

The logical follow up question would be:

"Can you cite an example of a regulation you'd get rid of and in what way it's a job killer?"

But nobody ever asks that question.

Maybe it's not a mistake.

Corporate media are doing everything they can to usher in a dictatorship that will see the end of freedom of the press. And if Trump wins in November, they will deserve it. The problem, of course, is they're going to drag all of us along with them.

Not American but I just hope they don't fire him as retaliation. Maybe he can't be fired for some reason, or maybe he just isn't afraid to speak the truth, idk. Just, the world needs more people like that.

Mistakes? I mean, if it’s deliberately done to drive views or a deeper, more nefarious agenda by right-wing billionaire media empire owners…is that a mistake?

Trump gets rating. MSNBC is a corporation. The primary objective of corporations is to raise shareholder value. They have no requirements to tell the truth or do what's best for Americans. They will do whatever helps their shareholders and if that is ushering in a second trump presidency, they will do it.

Trump brings in viewers because he constantly says dumb shit. He's a cash cow for networks.

His rant legitimizes everything I've said since 2016.

Broadcast Media is complicit in the right, and in Trump.

During the election they gave him tens of millions of dollars of free coverage/advertising that no other candidate got.

They have always treated him with soft hands, never pushing or fact checking like they would anyone else.

Miss democratic events to attend Trumps bullshit, then claim democrats don't hold enough events.. That they actively don't cover and report on.

It has a vested financial interest in the right wing, and in Trumps presidency, because they constantly create controversy which drives viewership.

How many times did you hear about what Biden had done outside of Republican false hysteria? About his policies? About the good his policies could do, or did do, for the American people? About the support his policies, and he himself had? I bet you dont even need a full hand to count the times.

How many times has Trump been in the news? Republicans? How many times do they just let them come on, spout their raw, bullshit propaganda and lies completely unchallenged? Treating them like their disgusting, immoral bullshit is just as valid and just as important as any actual crisis facing the actual, everyday American public? Almost every time they are on Camera.

Broadcast media in America has betrayed the people, betrayed the country, and betrayed their duty to their journalistic ethics. And for what? Ratings. Ratings. Ratings and corporate access/power. The journalists on the street, and in the studios, Sold their integrity for the benefit of the powers above them rather than investigating it and revealing it.
